Toronto Community Crisis Service Vehicle Exemption along King Street Priority Corridor - by Councillor Chris Moise, seconded by Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik

As our fourth emergency service, we believe it is critical that Toronto Community Crisis Service vehicles, which are clearly marked with the Toronto Community Crisis Service logo and the City of Toronto logo, receive this exemption. Having unrestricted through-access for the Toronto Community Crisis Service vehicles along the King Street corridor, when responding to crisis calls, would improve their response times to deal with emerging crisis situations. After working with staff from Transportation Services and Social Development, Finance, and Administration, it is recommended to amend the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950 to allow the Toronto Community Crisis Service vehicles to proceed along King Street when required without restriction.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary Bills to give effect to City Council's decision and City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make any necessary clarifications, refinements, minor modifications, technical amendments, or By-law amendments as may be identified by the City Solicitor, in consultation with the General Manager, Transportation Services in order to give effect to the Recommendations above.
